    What beers do my fellow BA's like to enjoy during Christmas time? Doesn't have to be a Christmas themed beer.

    This year I'm thinking of getting either Gulden Draak or St. Bernardus Christmas Ale.

    I have to go with the Anchor Christmas beer. Probly the best balanced christmas beer out there!

    Just like I'm not a big fan of pumpkin beers in the fall, I'm not a fan of winter warmers around the holidays.

    Just give me some SN Celebration & I'll be OK.

    Really enjoy Anchor's Christmas, Sam Adam's Old Fezziwig & Great Lake's Christmas Ale. Among several others.

    Winter is probably my favorite time of the year as a craft beer drinker.

    I would also say Celebration is one of those beers I look for around Christmas, although I now have to add Lagunitas Born Yesterday to my short list!!

    St. Bernadus, but on a small scale the Fegly's Rude Elf.

    In the past, it has been New Holland Dragons Milk or Good Humans from Shorts. I may look for some Samuel Smiths Chocolate Stout this year. I'm also cellaring a couple of Bell's Expedition Stouts for the holidays. Any of those will do for me.
